What an absolute cracker of an easter weekend we have just had,I reckon its been one of the best I have seen for many years.Just about every fisherman I had in my shop over the weekend had a story to tell whether it was a PB,1st cod,1st cod on a lure etc.
There were an absoloute bundle of cod caught in the Murray in the swan hill area over the weekend,far too many to report them all.

## Finally we have a solid boat ramp access on Pental Island,with a concrete/wire mesh ramp put in at Brooks Lane,hopefully they can do the same for Caeli Lane.

THE MURRAY RIVER:

- Starting to get the odd report of cod getting caught around Lock 9,with a reported 120cm caught bat at the weekend.
- Plenty of campers headed to Boundary Bend for the weekend with mixed results,but I did hear of a 61cm cod caught.

- Jess Adams showed up the boys at the weekend with a 97cm cod,its the 2nd time Ben Spicer and his mate have been out fished by a lady,but they had a good couple of day finishing up with 30 cod between 45 to 97cm fishing downstream of the Abbs.
